Yeah, but AO3 fics - as a whole - don't use as many. I honestly think that the fics that remain on fanfic.net simply are the really shitty ones. Like I know I never hit the fanfic.net surge and apparently good fics were there, but I think those good writers packed them up onto websites or LJs or just deleted them, leaving only the bad fics behind. And new writers who added their fics there later just weren't as good (and maybe in that sense they are just younger writers not taught to not overuse exclamation points).
Actually, I feel like, the longer Ao3 is around, the more bad!fic gets put up. Which is certainly elitist of me, I'm just whining because I'm running out of the well-written IC fic for POI already and I am not sure I am willing to stomach the exclamation points.lol
